Adelaide meanwhile had to go the long way, but have made yet another AFLW Preliminary Final after beating Fremantle last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-last-time-they-met\"><strong>Last time they met<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last time these two sides met was earlier this season, back in Week 5. That particular day, after a seesawing second half, Brisbane kicked a late goal to hold off Adelaide and emerge two-point winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-stat-areas\"><strong>Key stat areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, Adelaide has recorded significantly more inside 50s than Brisbane, but Brisbane has been the far more efficient one once inside 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Adelaide has a massive dominance over Brisbane when it comes to hit outs, but is only plus-one over Brisbane in the clearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to contested versus uncontested possessions, there is a bigger gap in the uncontested possession count, and with it benefitting Brisbane that is one area the Lions can exploit. One area they do need to watch though is marks inside 50, which is crucial to the way both teams play but Adelaide has been doing far better than Brisbane in that area this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-match-up-s\"><strong>Key match up\/s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key forwards are going to play a huge part for both sides today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"63280\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/caitlin-gould\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caitlin Gould<\/a>, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"54216\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/taylor-smith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taylor Smith<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"63291\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dakota Davidson<\/a> are such key focal points in attack for their sides, so in turn the likes of <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29688\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/shannon-campbell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shannon Campbell<\/a>, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"63281\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/chelsea-biddell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chelsea Biddell<\/a> and <a href=\"\/afl\/player\/sarah-allan\/\" data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29654\" class=\"_dc_spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sarah Allan<\/a> are going to have huge assignments trying to stop them.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dc-block-dc-mention _dc_mention\"><div class=\"section-heading_wrap\"><span class=\"section-heading is-small\">Mentions<\/span><span class=\"hor-border\"><\/span><\/div><ul class=\"js-overflow-list overflow-list\"><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/caitlin-gould\/\">Caitlin Gould<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/taylor-smith\/\">Taylor Smith<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/dakota-davidson\/\">Dakota Davidson<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/shannon-campbell\/\">Shannon Campbell<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/chelsea-biddell\/\">Chelsea Biddell<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/sarah-allan\/\">Sarah Allan<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_e\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/event\/brisbane-vs-adelaide\/\">Brisbane vs Adelaide<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE SECOND of today\u2019s AFL Women\u2019s matches is between two old foes and perennial finals contenders.
